What happens when two men are in very
different places in their relationship?

Almost from the start of their relationship,
Jonah was in love with Scott. Scott doesn’t share that same sentiment. Jonah
finds out exact how Scott feels about him the hard way, when he sees Scott in a
compromising position with someone else. How they react becomes the challenge
two authors have set out to solve. Will there be forgiveness or misery as Jonah
reacts to what Scott has done?

EXCERPT

STORY ONE

Jonah nearly dove for the phone when it rang. He
dripped water all over the bathroom floor as he leaned out of the shower. He
looked at it as if it somehow put itself there, until he saw the stream of
water drip from his arm onto the corner of the small blue bath mat, turning it
a darker shade of blue the wetter it became.

He’d clean up his mess later though. Right
now, he pressed the green answer button and put the phone up to his ear without
looking at the screen.

“Hello.”

“You totally need to get over here,” his
sister Janey said.

“I can’t. I’m waiting for a call.”

“And you think you live in the 1980s,
before cellphones...why? They are making them portable now you know.” He could
practically see her rolling her eyes, which were the exact same hazel color as
his own. Beyond the eye color, there really wasn’t that much similarity. Janey
had dark hair the color of maple tree bark and she was so short, Jonah was
constantly picking on her about it. Jonah wasn’t tall either, actually. He
considered himself average for a man. Still, his sister was shorter than most
people.

Now he was annoyed she was burning up his
phone when he was waiting for Scott to call him. Not that he was about to admit
it to anyone, including his sister. He knew his sister knew what had happened
because Hank-the little shit-told her. Janey had called him a couple days ago
to tell him how sorry Hank said he was, blah, blah, blah. And Scott probably
confided in Vince, given the sympathetic looks Vince kept giving him. He
honestly didn’t think anyone else knew about what had happened.

He hadn’t talked to anyone about it at all.
He really didn’t know what to say. The
incident constantly played through his mind. His emotions ranged from
disgust, angry, love, and hurt. Sometimes they all lived inside him at once.

STORY TWO

The knock came three hours later. Jonah sat and waited
it out. He had a pretty good idea who was on the other side and didn’t want to
have to deal with it any more than he wanted to deal with the phone calls.

“Jonah, I know you’re in there.”

“No shit.” Where else would he fuckingbe?
There was no way, after a phone call with his sister that he’d be going out that
night. Even if he’d not already picked up. It was the only luck he’d had in a
long time that he’d managed to pick up at the supermarket before heading home.

“Jonah!”

Jonah let the breath out of his body as his
head hit the back of the lounge and stayed there. Vince. The arse who was
marrying his sister. Okay, so maybe arse
was a bad term as the man had been one of his closest friends before the
incident and really it wasn’t Vince’s fault that Jonah had walked away from the
whole lot of them. However the fact that he was only here on behalf of his
sister, the bitch he chose to marry, made the next conversation a lot less
appealing.

Jonah might miss the arse, but it didn’t
mean he wanted to see him. To be reminded of the humiliation that was his past.
To have a guy he’d considered a brother bitch at him in the words of his
sister.

“Jonah, open the fucking door before I
break it down.”

Jonah chuckled. What was he going to do,
get a chainsaw? It wasn’t like Jonah’s apartment door was something flimsy and
easily broken. Hell, it was a fire door therefore heavier than most.

“God damn it, you fucking arsehole. I just
wanna make sure you’re not dead.”

“I ain’t!” He yelled at the door.

“Prove it.”

“Doesn’t me talking prove that, fucker?”

“Nope, now open the door or I’m calling a
locksmith.”

Jonah narrowed his eyes, wondering if Vince would
actually call someone to break into his house.

mates come with very special packages. As the
oldest son of irresponsible, selfish parents, Craig doesn't remember the last
time he shifted into his turtle form and took a nice relaxing swim. He's far
too busy working two jobs and taking care of his six younger siblings. When
Craig's mate comes crashing into the diner kitchen, where he's a cook, his life
gets even more complicated. As the oldest vampire in
existence, Zadimus has spent a lot of his years alone and liked it. Zadimus
never thought his introverted nature would ever be a problem until he meets his
mate’s family.

Just taking a moment away from Saint Lakes 5, to let you all know what I'm working on. So yeah, Begin Again is the Fifth installment in the Saint Lakes series. I'm almost finished with it. Without giving spoilers, I can tell you that the story is Ramsey, Saint Lakes' Alpha, and Fane, a very ill vampire shifter who was rescued in book four by Angel and Forrest. He was in the vampire prison for being feral.

The over all series plotline heats up in a big way in this book.

I'm shooting for a mid-August release date but if that changes at all I'll definitely post something on social media for sure. I'll post a blurb soon, so look for that. The book will be available on Amazon and be included in the Kindle Unlimited, along with all the other Saint Lakes books.

A human soldier and an omega wolf shifter find out they’re
mates in a world where segregation between humans and paranormals is standard
operating procedure.
Dylan Kole knows how to do one thing, and that’s to be a
soldier in the human army. He doesn’t know how to fit in with a bunch of
paranormal beings, and he certainly doesn’t know how to be a mate to Rudy
Malone, the only omega wolf shifter on Roguefalls Island. One thing Dylan does
have going for him is his ability to follow his instincts.
